Method
Turning now to Fig. 3-5, it illustrates the distinct methods for realizing communication, this method uses such as vehicle 12 MCD, or use more general MCD 11,13,15 above-mentioned.These methods are only exemplary an implementation Example, to those skilled in the art, multiple other embodiments will become apparent.Although in addition, these method quilts It is described as, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, these methods is realized by a wireless network, it is to be understood that these methods It is similarly applied in wire communication.Each method is represented as a call flow, the call flow describe MCD with Communication between data center/call center of TSP.Each shown process may include one or more steps, such as will be under That face discusses and will be understood by those skilled in the art that, which is present between the communication issued in each direction. This method starts from step 202, and is sent to the call request of TSP come since MCD by sending one, which makes It is in this example embodiment packet switched data connection with a data channel communication path.The call request can be sent out by MCD user It rises, such as by initiating a TSP service call from MCD, for example, being answered in the case where cellular handset MCD by an APP( With), or in the case where vehicle remote as shown in Figure 1 communicates MCD by the pressing of button 34 or via Mike The voice command of wind 32.The call request can also automatically be initiated by MCD or relevant device, for example, in response to it is on vehicle 12, It indicates the crash sensor that collision occurs and initiates a calling.
Including one or more transmission identifiers within call request, can be used to identify caller, calling MCD, Or call intent or priority.In the example shown, which includes three Mobile Equipment Identifier --- MCD SN (sequence number), MCD telephone number, and the data of wireless technology (for example, CDMA or 4G) used in instruction MCD.The call request It may also include additional data, in this example, which sets for MCD bit, which can be connect by using the GPS on MCD Receipts machines otherwise obtains.For vehicle remote communications applications as shown in Figure 1, which can be vehicle VIN(is equipped with telecommunication unit 30 on the vehicle 12 that is, distribute to the identifier of vehicle 12) or telecommunication list Metasequence number (for example, ESN).The MCD telephone number can be telecommunication unit telephone number, which will refer to Show the type of cellular communication circuit 50, and the position by be the vehicle determined such as GPS receiver 40 position.Other are answered With, it is possible to provide similar identifier, alternatively, using difference during providing initial call foundation or providing other services Or additional transmission identifier and TSP it is available, or be possible to other available data.For example, for hand-held mobile electricity Words, possible Mobile Equipment Identifier includes Mobile Directory Number, and the hardware address of mobile phone, data certificate, refers to sequence number Fixed device name, or for the wireless technology (e.g., speech performance, data performance, voice and data performance) of mobile unit, Etc..
Others transmission identifier includes user identifier and scene identifier.Suitable user identifier includes user's surname The part combination of name, date of birth, SSN or other unique identification data or these data or subscriber account number or Other information.From the other information, it may be determined that data-base recording associated with the MCD of the user or the user.Scene mark Knowing symbol may include calling code, the case where indicating call intent or priority or other information, indicate MCD or user, or The required service of request.As will be described below, one (or multiple) the specific transmission identifier sent can be used by TSP In various purposes, including user or subscriber account information are obtained, and suitable calling distribution, the calling are assigned as specifically exhaling The service of the person of crying or request distributes suitable consultant.
At step 204, a call center telephone number, the number and one (or multiple) transmission identifier phase are obtained Association, and it is sent to MCD.As will be described together in below and step 206, MCD then be will use in this calling Heart telephone number dials an audio call to call center.This call center telephone number can be one interim point Single session telephone number matching, for the audio call from MCD.By distributing a spy for this specific call request Fixed telephone number, when receiving the call, call center 122 is it may determine that whom MCD calling or what is called.This Point is advantageous, because can be at least part of based on receive in call request one (or multiple) transmission identifier And/or other information, come obtain for selected by call session and distribution particular telephone number.For example, call request includes referring to Show that the calling code for needing emergency responder to service, calling code can be used to selection telephone number, the telephone number and one group of consultant Associated, the consultant is by special training, to handle such emergency.Alternatively, calling code can be used in selection calling Heart telephone number, the calling code indicate that a request for account or subscriber services, for example calling plan are presented the bill or exhaled It cries and increases the additional time in plan, the call center telephone number is associated with the consultant of those requests of processing is suitble to.
Such as another example, wherein Mobile Equipment Identifier or user identifier are comprised in call request, are allowed The data-base recording for obtaining that user, the user information obtained from database can be used to selection call center's phone number Code.For example, user's language-specific demand in storage user record in the database can be obtained (for example, saying Spain Language), and it is used to selection call center telephone number, the telephone number and meet that language needs (for example, Ye Shuo Spain Language) consultant it is associated.This call center allowed for as outfit, or be geographically located at the national of a Ge Shuo identifiable language and exhale Center is cried to distribute telephone number.Such as another example, verifiable subscriber account status (e.g., expired, to pay up expense), And account state is based at least partially on to distribute call center telephone number.
It is interim to select in addition to using the transmission identifier sent together with call request or other additional datas Call center telephone number, transmitting identifier and/or additional data can be come based on the reception of the audio call to distributed number By audio call routing (connection) to a suitable advice office.Therefore, it is verified for account status above-mentioned, it can will be by The calling that central equipment call center receives internally is routed to membership dues service department, and there, account does not pay up expense Words, it is on the other side, advice office is routed the call to, which was trained to, it is possible to provide order service.Alternatively, can be used The language needs of caller do not select or distribute a specific call center telephone number, but once receive the language Sound calling, then route the audio call to the advice office for meeting that language needs.This point may be useful, for example, Wherein call center has used the different consultants that can say different language in the device.
The selection and distribution of occasional call central telephone number, can also be based on other factors, such as the geographical position of MCD It sets, which perhaps by the MCD location information sent or passes through the national code or region code of MCD telephone number, Huo Zhetong Cross the dynamic IP addressing that MCD is distributed in geographically parsing.In order to minimize purpose as calling cost etc., such geographical letter Breath can be used for that call center telephone number is selected to distribute.
Whether using partly or entirely available call request and the judgement of user/MCD data, specific calling may depend on The operation at center.For example, can make in the place (such as except their personal houses) of independent work site in consultant Specific consultant is selected with data available, and therefore selects the telephone number of that consultant.Then, when MCD is to that number When calling back audio call, which is attached directly to that consultant in his or she family.But on the ground using call center Side, equipped with multiple consultants, all these consultants are in same equipment and in certain intercom phone systems for the call center In system, the telephone number of distribution that is being sent to MCD may be used, be not directly connected to specific advice office, but generally And that call center is then internally called, to obtain the additional available information of relevant user or user MCD, the additional information Then it is used to determine a suitable consultant, and that consultant is arrived into audio call routing.
The call center numbers of the distribution can be sent back to by a data channel communication path, the data channel communication Path can be and be used to send call request and its transmit the identical communication path of identifier, or can be one individually Communication path.It is to be understood that the technology for sending telephone number may depend on technology used in mobile unit, wrap Include CDMA, GSM, UMTS, VoLTE etc..In the step, in one embodiment, which can be believed by data Road communication information sends a reply, receives the telephone number to confirm.
Although being carried out, MCD is established using the telephone number temporarily distributed at step 206 to Gu at call center The audio call asked.The consultant can then provide service need or necessary to caller (user), this may relate to Additional data or program are sent between MCD and TSP.This point can be shown by subsequent data.It can be based on the skill supported Art selects specific data communication means used.For example, it is shown that packet data connection can with use GSM, UMTS Or the MCD of VoLTE is used together, and SMS communication can be used for those technologies, or the MCD for using CDMA.
By obtaining telephone number, achievable interim (for example, single session) call center's phone number from pool of phone numbers The selection of code.This step can be realized at data center or call center, such as by using call-center application shown in Fig. 2 180.In one embodiment, criterion selects telephone number based on one or more, including what is reserved for certain language needs Telephone number, the telephone number reserved for emergency etc..In another embodiment, phone number is selected based on availability Code.Under any circumstance, once having selected telephone number from available phone number pond, the telephone number otherwise with transmission Identifier is directly associated or is associated with by with another data item, and the data item itself is related to transmission identifier Connection.As discussed above, in certain embodiments, this to be associated with the language for allowing to receive using user or MCD information Sound call routing to a suitable advice office, and as discussing further below, will allow by user or MCD information (such as From database 84) it is supplied to the consultant that calling is routed to, so that the consultant can immediately obtain that when audio call starts A information.This point can help speed up the service transmission of user, and improve experience of the user to TSP.
Once terminating audio call, the call center telephone number temporarily distributed will be abandoned by MCD, and the phone number Code is restored in available phone number pond at the heart in a call.
Turning now to Fig. 4, which show one to realize the second method communicated with MCD.This method can with Fig. 3 phase Mode with (or different) starts, wherein send a call request, the call request include at least one transmission identifier with And possible extra data.This call request can be sent by data channel communication path, as packet switch connects.At this In a embodiment, MCD telephone number is sent as a part of call request, therefore, TSP is allowed to use that telephone number Directly call back MCD.Thus, this method is related to a MCD calling and initiates, and MCD calling is initiated to have actually related to from calling The audio call that center is initiated.If desired, the call request can be replied specially;For example, by a reply data-message, The message indicates will call the call center in next n seconds.When providing Short-time Window, this point be it is useful, at this In window, so that call center is in a manner of a kind of incoming call that help is identified to MCD, calling is returned.It can be by consultant or by calling The audio call is automatically dialed at center, then connects the call to a suitable advice office.Such as above method 200 In, the transmission identifier and/or extra data received together with call request can be used to one suitable consultant of selection. Once establish the audio call with MCD, as discussed together above in connection with Fig. 3, can to caller provide need or want Service, then terminates the session.
One advantage of the method for Fig. 4 is that it dynamically receives the MCD telephone number for voice callback, rather than according to The database lookup that Lai Yu is accorded with based on MCD serial number or other identifier.In the case where MCD telephone number may change, this Any is useful, because updated for the data-base recording of the equipment or last time.This can also remove from the electricity to MCD Talk about the needs of the TSP involved in number assignment process.
Fig. 5 provides another more specifically description of Fig. 3 method, and wherein TSP data and voice call flow are divided into The branch handled by data center 120, and the branch handled by call center 122.How this embodiment is one at two The example of such call-flow is separated between operation, but other embodiments are possible, and for those skilled in the art It is obvious for member.In the 5 embodiment of figure 5, when receiving the call request from MCD, data center obtain with The relevant information of user (it may include the information about user MCD), and call center is sent by that information, for final The consultant for handling the audio call uses.As shown, this user data is together with the calling being initially included in call request Code is addressed to call center together.The data can be used to selection and send back MCD, distribution telephone number, but can also be Consultant is provided to when audio call starts to come using so that starting to deposit between consultant's acquisition user information in audio call Seldom or there is no delay.This helps speed up the transmission of user service, and improves Customer Experience.In audio call The user part message to come in handy when beginning is address name, account charges information or about MCD or associated Information.Therefore, in vehicle remote communications applications, it is supplied to the information of consultant before, or the just offer when audio call starts To the information of consultant, it may include subscriber name and vehicle brand/style/time enable consultant familiar and friendly with one kind Good mode starts to talk with, such as " good morning, Mr. simon, and how is your Xin Kemailuo ".
As mentioned above, when using data channel communication path, implementable different embodiment, including use and have It is integrated that ACD/CTI(calls distribution/computalk automatically) PBX embodiment, and the embodiment not used.For example, Using the place of PBX/CTI framework, when a data call enters data center, it may not be necessary to extract and/or use removes Any past information except transmission identifier, but that process can be postponed (for example, postponing user or MCD The data base querying of information) until receiving the audio call from vehicle.Only receive data call (for example, Pass through the transmission identifier received) telephone number is distributed from pond, and that telephone number is sent back into vehicle.When When call is come in, the other information (calling code, position) from the data call can be then used, or use database Inquiry, the data base querying be based on the transmission identifier or other information from data call, and, using the information or It inquires to determine that suitable consultant's (for example, based on language preference) and/or the data that will acquire are supplied to and receive the calling Consultant.When being used to selection consultant, which can then be switched to that advice office, which is also supplied to that Consultant.
As another example sends a telegram here when data for the TSP without using PBX and ACD/CTI framework and enters data When center, transmission identifier and/or other information from the data call can be used to select suitable consultant or from this Information itself or based on the data base querying for using the information.Then, it can be exhaled by data for the telephone number of the consultant It cries and is returned at MCD.Then the information of acquisition will be sent to suitable advice office, this step can immediately or MCD is completed after being dialed audio call using the telephone number of the distribution.Therefore, once receiving the call, the Gu Desired available information will be obtained when calling and starting by asking.Since there is no the demand to PBX/CTI, which does not need to be in At TSP equipment, but can be from family or another local offer service, and the consultant can receive in another place and come from MCD and the voice and data communication of data center.
Although possibility is very low, it is used for receiving one list session telephone number of primary data calling and distribution MCD is dialed after audio call, it may occur that call center (or consultant of non-PBX structure) receives another calling and (come from Some other caller), which uses the telephone number for that reserved distribution of the calling from vehicle.Solve this A kind of method of a problem is, other than the telephone number reserved for the audio call of session, by data call, to MCD Send an interim, lesser one number (for example 2 digits or 3 digits).Vehicle MCD, which will will use, is supplied to the vehicle Telephone number, establish a call to call center, and also send unique number using DTMF.That is only One number will confirm the calling from correct equipment (because unique number is as telephone number is sent together To vehicle).The process rest part can remain unchanged.Once being verified, which can be taken back in pond.It can base The digit of the one number is selected in the average call amount of call center.For example, if average call amount is lower than 900, Three digits for one number are sufficient.By keeping lesser interim distribution one number, can make to cause due to DTMF Time delay keep it is smaller.
It can be readily appreciated by one skilled in the art, be called by using the primary data from RCD, and from data The heart is received back the telephone number of distribution that is coming, can automatically carry out a certain number of calling RCD authentications and/or subscription authentication.And And for increased verifying, in the place wanted or needed, dtmf signaling be can be used in some embodiments.
Each embodiment discussed above may further be used to the nothing for enabling voice and data communication to cross over multiple epoch Line communication technology (e.g., cellular technology), and cross over technology that is different, vying each other.And the it is to be understood that party Method does not need to connect by voice channel using data modem unit, allow for TSP data communication, so as to avoid in language To the needs of certain technologies in sound calling, these technologies between data and speech pattern for toggling.
As that can be readily appreciated by one skilled in the art, the method for Fig. 3-5 can be realized by specific machine, in the machine Each uses processor, memory and programming instruction stored in memory, also, the instruction is once processed Device executes, at least part that the specific machine will be made to execute the method that is disclosed above.For example, RCD either vehicle remote Communication unit or portable cellular phone or other wirelessly or non-wirelessly equipment, may include processor, program storage, with And radio communication circuit, the radio communication circuit make RCD be special for some software application programmed in memory Fixed.Similarly, TSP equipment 20 be related to 82, (or multiple) databases 84 of (or multiple) specific purposes server, with And other particular devices, which makes its use and function is distinctive for specific wireless service.Made Memory can be a computer-readable memory comprising a non-volatile data storage, the equipment is not Need lasting power supply that can maintain its program;Example includes that flash memory and other kinds of NVRAM(non-volatile random connect Enter memory), ROM(read-only memory);Semiconductor memory, as EPROM(is erasable, programming ROM), EEPROM(electricity can The programming ROM of erasing), disk or CD or tape;And/or it is similar.
